Hi all,

with the WEB GUI, I am only able to browse downloaded file with SAP GUI for HTML File Browser on web storage Z:\: is there a way to download the file directly to PC's file system?

thanks,
Andrea

Hi afedeli

I have reproduce your problem with Data Browser (SE16) in WEBGUI , select one line of a table (in this case USR02) and tried to download

the below popup came in and , oddly enough , it's pointing to Z drive for me too and then I have changed the "Directory" field to C:\

If this works for you too, pls mark this as completed, ty!A

Hi amontella96,

thanks for your sample. The problem is that if I do the same thing and click on "SAP GUI for HTML File Browser" I got the pop-up below and the same thing happens with mouse right click and choose "Spreadsheet...".

Note: I have this problem only accessing data from web application and if I do the same thing with SAP GUI I can download the data locally.

thanks,

Andrea

Hi afedeli

i think the answer to your question is in the "gui actions and settings" , "settings" and go the section "sapgui for html settings" with below flag to adjust

thing is, there are some issues based on sap kernel, check note 2249454 if you need any sap kernel updates

Keep in mind that the behavior of save to file and SAP GUI for HTML File Browser is different...

Please mark this as completed as it should cover all your questions, thanks!A
